[U2] Report Generation
I have been asked to look into a report generation tool similar to Crystal Reports for multivalued databases. and MS SQL server databases. I've worked with BI Query before are you folks aware of other possible solutions. The user has asked for Ability to schedule queries to run at night Ability to automatically distribute reports. I think saving them in a shared area is good enough. Ability to generate charts as part of the scheduled run. Any ideas are appreciated.

Consider mvQuery, CoreVu (from Rocket). I have been dabbling with Kendo UI and ColdFusion. --Bill Consider also an HT -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of charles_shaf...@ntn-bower.com Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 10:23 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] Report Generation I have been asked to look into a report generation tool similar to Crystal Reports for multivalued databases. and MS SQL server databases.

But if you're on Windows, install blat. Then, Windows or linux, you can have the script that runs them also mail them out. Quite possibly from inside U2 using a list stored in the database :-) Cheers, Wol ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
Re: [U2] Report Generation
For lightweight reports and dashboards, I use U2 - XML - PHP - JQuery. I've baked this into the Joomla Content Management system so that users on browsers, smart phones, tablets can access U2 data in responsive templates on any device. jQuery is fast and the sorting, filtering happens in the browser so there is no back and forth to the server. It's not a drill-down tool and is not the best choice for massive reports but deployment requires no special licensing and only a browser. With jQuery, we can show the data as grids, charts, and more and with Joomla CMS as the front-end, it's very easy to manage. I'm deploying customer invoices and statements using Joomla CMS with jQuery so that the statement and invoice body is fully filterable, sortable, and cleanly importable to office apps all in the browser.
